More about 'One Foot In Hell'

When Cirith Ungol unleashed "One Foot In Hell" back in 1986, they delivered what many consider their most accessible yet still devastatingly heavy offering. This album marked a slight shift from their earlier doom-laden epics toward a more streamlined heavy metal approach, but don't mistake accessibility for weakness - tracks like "Blood & Iron" and the title track "One Foot In Hell" still pack the crushing riffs and Tim Baker's soaring vocals that made the band legendary among underground metal circles. The album showcases the band's ability to craft memorable hooks without sacrificing their signature dark atmosphere, with songs like "100 MPH" demonstrating their knack for anthemic choruses wrapped in molten steel.

What makes this record particularly special is how it bridges the gap between traditional heavy metal and the emerging doom scene of the mid-80s. The guitar work remains intricate and powerful, while the rhythm section provides that thunderous foundation that would influence countless bands in the decades to come. Baker's vocal performance here is nothing short of spectacular, ranging from haunting melodies to full-throated battle cries that perfectly complement the apocalyptic themes running throughout the album.

For fans of: Manilla Road, Pagan Altar, Solitude Aeturnus, Candlemass and Saint Vitus
